|
|
ok i know comptia a+ is good and also cisco is good as well
But cisco concentrates on cisco hardwares and comptia a+ focus on all hard wares like how to build a computer from nothing etc.Comptia a+ is well respected but if you type comptia a+ on job websites there are Zero jobs.I want to know does anyone have a certification program that focus on hardware and is well famous and respected
MCSE etc are softwares so dont say that |

| A lot of the hardware qualifications are manufacturer specific. Have you looked at any of the HP ones? |

| Comptia Server+ isn't a bad one I hear. It is used as an accepted pre-req for the HP Proliant AIS. Might be worth having a look at |

For hardware in general Comptia A+ is the best.
If you want to focus on servers rather than on desktops/laptops you might consider Server+ or some less known from HP for example.
I wouldn't say Cisco is hardware course/exam
All right, there is a bit of it in certification, but majority in Cisco is about software, Cisco is famous not because hardware box they produce, it's all about their versatile software. |

I work for a very large computer company that begins with the letter D In the departments here A+ and N+ are very good certifications to get you in the door. To move up and really start making the good money you need to go for MCSE or MCITP Enterprise Admin. Cisco is an excellent certifiction to add because you can't just memorize material and take the test. You have to actually know what you are doing. So much of the industry is done remotely now that you need to practice on simulations and being able to remote in and take of problems rather than physically being on location. Once you have built a foundation continue to build on it. It will take you from being a good candidate for a job to the top candidate. With all things being equal in the interview, he/she who has the most certifications wins. |
